"A man could just splatter himself all over without getting very deeply into the complexities of any one field," says Professor Gardner Patterson, Director of the School. "Although we offer a wide area of choice," he added, "we demand that the choices be made with care...

But six years ago, after 800 years of Sultanate rule, the Maldives became a republic. Their first President abolished purdah, designed a Mother...
...Village, debated: "What is abstract art in the good sense?'' "How do you know when a work is finished?" "Why put a title on a painting?"
